The autocrat himself is not to
blame for his creation; that is a
matter, peculiarly, of misplaced, or
miscalculated, public tolerance or
public intolerance, as the case may
be. Yet, under any and all circum
stances, the setting op of the do

individual tar deal with the values
and franchises of the many, is a
blunder on its face, and a menace at
all times.
Astoria has not many of the ilk;
she bas t few that we wot of, and
one, anyhow. But she is . "getting

and will retrieve it xn the only way
left her; at the polls.

ITS A GOOD THING TO REFER
to the reputation of a store before
making any , important purchases
therein. Before you buy is the time
to look up the matter. Ask questions.
Find out if the store you intend pa
tronizing keeps its pledges. Be sure
that you learn if it sells the qualities
It claims; if it treats ts customers
honestly and fairly, then; if satisfied,
buy there. Do all the asking you
wish about us among your friends,
and that you will result in your com
ing here regularly.
